Poem: My mirror know all my secrets


I cannot hide, you portray me without question

my ebb and flow, my dark and light

you're my constant friend, and I

cannot look at you and lie,

'cause lets face it, I'd be

lying to myself, right in the face

you may not have all the answers,

but you're a good listener,

and here's a little secret for you to keep:

" I don't know who I should become…

but maybe it's enough to know

who I don't want to become."

- This was fun, written as a prompt. 


Poem: Hidden in childhood


you become…

somewhere between ploughing the fields

with bare hands and feet

climbing rocks and trees

because daylight demands

to be soaked into your skin

 

you become…

somewhere between wishful thinking

and dreaming of your hearts desires

music taking you to new heights

bathing in the lake of your imagination

do you notice what you gain and what you lose?

 

you become…

a stranger to the child you once were

so distant and cold, not at all innocent

yet you keep returning back to childhood

as a magnet, hidden in those days is a story

of how your personality unfolded

 

you become…

yourself, somewhere on the path

like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly

                you find your voice
